This is probably an easy question for you. I have an old IBM Thinkpad 240. I booted it up today and the LCD screen is white. I heard windows 98 sound so it loaded up fine. So I hooked up a ext monitor and it works. But the laptop screen is white. Any ideas what I should do next? Is the LCD screen dead? Should I be looking for a new laptop?

I haven't tried safe mode, But I have tried the dimmer button all that does is dimmer the white screen. It works fine with an external monitor So I'm thinking something went screwy with the laptop screen

Hmm strange I turned it on normal and it works I'm totally lost as to why I got a white screen before. Everything seems to be fine now. Well I think I better run some checks on it. Would scandisk and defrag help at all. Thanks for your help I'll be back if it happens again.
